Write XML and binary="hidden"

[canonrad]

I am trying to debug find queries returned from Conquest. The queries come back normally. but I can't get the value strings and when I write the query as xml I get binary="hidden" for the value. I assume this is due to the lack of a Specific Character Set element. If I add a SpecificCharacterSet element to the response manually will I be able to extract the values?

<data-set xfer="1.2.840.10008.1.2.1" name="LittleEndianExplicit">
<element tag="0008,0020" vr="UN" vm="1" len="8" name="StudyDate"
binary="hidden"></element>
<element tag="0008,0030" vr="UN" vm="1" len="14" name="StudyTime"
binary="hidden"></element>
<element tag="0008,0052" vr="UN" vm="1" len="6" name="QueryRetrieveLevel"
binary="hidden"></element>
<element tag="0008,0061" vr="UN" vm="1" len="2" name="ModalitiesInStudy"
binary="hidden"></element>
<element tag="0008,1030" vr="UN" vm="1" len="30" name="StudyDescription"
binary="hidden"></element>
<element tag="0010,0010" vr="UN" vm="1" len="20" name="PatientsName"

<element tag="0020,0010" vr="UN" vm="1" len="2" name="StudyID"
binary="hidden"></
element>
</data-set>

I assume this is due to the lack of a Specific Character Set element.

No, by default the value of binary data elements is not written to the XML document. This behaviour can be changed using option --write-binary-data (+Wb).

Anyway, since all standard attributes in your dump have the value representation UN you should probably first solve this problem!
